Re: What vocal exercises do you do to warm up?

I swing the cat around the room by the tail and try to match that sound.

Just kidding, the cat would rip me to shreds. She's a feisty one ...

Like Owen and Khassera said, you need something that works for you if what you are doing now doesn't work. this thread reminds me of some of the threads that would get started by JayMC. Offering a hypothetical situation and see what everyone says about it, like collecting information.

But basically, any warm-up that you do should open the majority of your range. Not the extremities, but the main area that you plan to work in.

Re: What vocal exercises do you do to warm up?

In my product, "The Four Pillars of Singing", There is a phase in the program called "The Foundation Building Routine"... it consists of semi-occluded phonations that are resonant tracking on a nasal consonants, specialized onsets to tune your formant, practice larynx dampening, engage vocal fold compression, and generally coordinate your body and ear to produce a beautiful formant, respiration exercises and then a wrap-up that puts it all together with several "onsets & sirens" workouts... these are all explained in my training system with detailed routines, video demonstrations, etc...

Granted, this is a bit more then just a "warm-up", but most people need more then just a 'warm-up'... I also do glottal attaches with strong TA pulls... or "Call" onsets... which are hard to explain in words, you have to kind of hear it or I can show you in an internet lesson.
